David Corkery: Munster rugby glaringly in need of a massive overhaul

Current Young Munster coach David Corkery was an outstanding international wing-forward who was a teammate of Anthony Foley when Munster first competed in the European Cup in 1995. He spoke to Charlie Mulqueen about what he calls the recent ‘catastrophic failure’ in the province...

Is Munster rugby a charity or a business? That’s the question posed today by former Ireland and Munster wing-forward David Corkery as he looks on sadly as the province flounders from one crisis to another.

Many former stars keep their views to themselves but not Corkery who laments the fact that things have got so bad, that the province may not even qualify for next season’s European Champions Cup and with a dismal financial report waiting around the corner.
